The objective of this practicum is to learn about four novel intensive outpatient programs that are currently in use at the Child Mind Institute (CMI). The presentation includes detailed program information about intensive services that have been developed for children and adolescents in four areas: obsessive-compulsive disorder, selective mutism, behavior disorders, and dialectical behavior therapy. Clinicians from CMI present on program design and development, program implementation, and clinical material and outcomes from actual patient interventions. While many of the intensive interventions are designed for individual patients, CMI also presents case material from group-based intensive programs that they have developed, i.e., Brave Buddies™ for selective mutism. Evidence-based interventions can be adapted to be used in intensive outpatient treatment programs that can result is rapid stabilization of symptoms that might otherwise require a higher level of care.
